If you do want to be a mad chemical scientist, I would think biological/medical chemistry would be a better route. For drugging and mind-controlling the population, or creating mutants, or super-soldiers. Or turning the population into mind-controlled mutant super-soldiers.
It's only small scope if you're thinking small. Blowing up the moon, for instance, is far from petty.
